Adding pdf attachments to a jire issue created in python

[Jóhanna Margrét Sigurðardóttir]

I have already created a forloop for create jira issues in bulk. However, I need to be able to attach relevant pdf files to those issues.

Here is an example of my current code for just 1 jira issue created with python.

jira_connection = JIRA(
basic_auth=('myemail@xxx.is', API),
server = "https://xxx.atlassian.net",

)

issue_dict = {
'project': {'key': 'AAA'},
'summary': 'Testing', #The name of the jira issue
'description': 'Testing',
'issuetype': {'name': 'Request'}
}

How do I add the pdf file as an attachment to this current jira issue?

Hi @Jóhanna Margrét Sigurðardóttir  and welcome,

there is a specific REST API for that. https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-attachments-post

Hope this helps,

Fabio
